Ebay Dropshipping

If you are brand new to dropshipping and the way it works, but are really interested in making money dropshipping on Ebay may advice is simple - be cautious.  The reason I would recommend being cautious is if you are brand new to Ebay, and start trying to sell products from suppliers, what happens if you sell an item and your supplier does not ship it out for you (or ship it out in a timely manner?)  You get stuck with the negative feedback.

If you have been using a dropshipping company for the last several months and they have a good track record (so to speak) and you feel they are reliable then I would proceed.  I just would hate for you to get all gung ho in selling products on Ebay only to get a handful of negative feedback because of a bad supplier.

I know this defeats the purpose of dropshipping, but you could also consider buying in bulk so you know that you have access to the product. If you get negative feedback you only have yourself to blame if you don't take care of the customer.  Buying in bulk does require more money upfront, but could be more rewarding in the end.   Typically you will get better prices buying in bulk rather then one at a time.

Good news for you is at The Shipper, we offer dropshipping lists of companies that will dropship items one at a time, or that you can purchase from in bulk if you have the money to invest.  Whatever fits your budget we can take care of you. 

I just wanted to post about this, because this time of season people are rushing to make money online and hit the holiday croud, and forget to think sometimes.  I just want to make sure you are not setting business up for failure.

While I find your article helpful and I appreciate your candor, you are still selling a service. Which seems to be the problem with the entire sell(dropship) on eBay business experience.

Everyone is selling either a set of lists to wholesaler/dropshippers and somewhere else someone is writing a negative review about the company or the entire experience.

There's a lot of hustle going on around eBay which is usually the case when there's a lot of money floating around.

The trick seems to be finding something legitimate which actually works.
